    We're right at the junction with Shop St. to the left, St. Mary's Bridge to the right. Google Streetview shows the quayside quite changed, but the roofline to the left is still similar. The GeoHive OS 25" shows the Hotel to the left, survey date June 1907.

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons I'd agree that it is the "Kyne" and the next one down has three letters visible "S or GIF?". What a beauty of a shot, for those of us who know the place it has changed very little but look at those ships??? Fantastic detail and imagery. They are all moored about 10 to 15 feet from the quay wall, obviously because the bottom sloped up rapidly, and there is a plank across that considerable gap. Talk about walking the plank. You will also note that each ship has a dinghy beside the gangway for the less than nimble to come and go? Look at the length of that roofers ladder on the left? Imagine carrying that around on your shoulder or on your bicycle as they used to do? Brilliant shot Carol, well done. Did you take it yourself?

    The symmetrey in this photo is spectacular. That wall would not have been very conducive to cargo handling. I wonder if that was a holding area for the ships between voyages?
  • Swordscookie said:
    Micheál Cattigan Thats a good point given the distance they are from the wall as well. There is also a lack of space for manoeuvreing drays etc. on the quayside. You can see another ship in the background either getting ready to dock or to leave and judging by the tiny bow wave the tide is flowing so it may be leaving. It is possible that there was a small jetty or dock over on the Scotch Hall side where actual unloading was done, unless of course these were passenger ships taking emigrants to far away places? The 1860's were a time of mass emigration from Ireland and all of the ports were handling such ships.

    The chap nearest the camera is wearing a bowler hat but they were invented in 1844 so that is no help to us date wise!

    Curiously the Cork Examiner retrospective "Picture That" makes no mention of the 1902 exhibition but does mention the huge popularity of the 1889 exhibition
